Nice.
Back on shinies are we? One time I caught a red Gyarados in Pokemon gold.
Is it worth giving them names, any real benefits or just for fun? I might start naming them when I start White. (Which may be after or during my current play-through of SoulSilver.)
So is this just the Pokemon community thread now?
The first shiny Pokemon I caught was a Parasect. In the Safari Zone in Leaf Green. That was the most nerve-wracking experience I've ever faced.
My first shiny I ever ran into was Exeggcute
Encountered him in the Safari Zone in Heartgold, ran away...you have no idea how upset that made me.
oh man, finding a shiny in the safari zone has to be the most bittersweet thing ever

Never found a shiny and I finished all pokemon games + got them all in Blue and Sapphire.
Yes, I'm extremely unlucky.
First Shiny ever was this and not until Platinum -_-
Which was my only one ever until my import copy of White where I acquired
And if I wasnt paying attention to see the shiny animation I wouldnt have even noticed considering how barely different it is from the original.
so yeah about pokemon xy
The information fairy comes but a few times every month.so yeah about pokemon xy

mmmmm I like thisWhat about them?
Yeah, Skamory and Absol both are in desperate need of stronger evolutions.So when will I find out when a Skarmory evolution is in a Pokemon game?
If there is going to be an eShop version of Pokemon X/Y, wouldn't that mean duping is going to be too easily done / too widespread?
All one has to do is 'trade away' their powerful Pokemon equipped with powerful items and then restore from their SD Card's backup they made on their computer from prior to the trade.
Am I missing a variable here, GAF?
That's a good question - never really thought about it like that...If there is going to be an eShop version of Pokemon X/Y, wouldn't that mean duping is going to be too easily done / too widespread?

Also I'm trying to figure out how to get legit versions of all the legendaries I don't have in anticipation of Y&X... How the hell am I meant to get Deoxys?

Well none of the other mainline Pokemon games are on the eshop, right? So maybe that's why.
Only new Nintendo 3DS games and Wii U games are getting dual eShop/retail releases, so this is the first game they'd do it for one way or the other.

If the data is saved on the game card and not the SD card, it won't be a problem.
Typing SD card makes it sound like I have my own kind of card
You aren't, until there's an event (or you find someone willing to dupe one for you).
Probably not because they haven't even figured out how to emulate the link cable yet

I think he meant Virtual Console releases
What game card? This'd be for the digital version. Something like:If the data is saved on the game card and not the SD card, it won't be a problem.

They're talking about if it's bought on the eShop - no game card to save to.
What game card? This'd be for the digital version. Something like:
1. Copy data from SD card onto computer
2. Trade with someone/yourself
3. Restore the data you saved on your comp
4. Now you have your original, and the other game has an exact copy. The original is lost in the aether.
In fact, this is like that one trade duplication trick using link cables... similar outcomes too (losing one Pokemon).
Well really, thinking again, it wasn't a problem in the games before - after all, there are dupe tricks for all gens (not sure about 5 though), and this one requires sacrificing one Pokemon, and it's always been possible before, so I guess Game Freak won't be too concerned.
Absol could use some love... but Skarmory?
Skarmory needs to be more bad-ass
It's always been possible to do these sort of dupe tricks - most of the stuff that Game Freak does with regards to game data is making sure it isn't decrypted, making sure it isn't corruptable that easily, and making sure that the Pokemon have valid stats (for tournament purposes).If you're trading a Shiny Facemelter with a Master Ball for a Bidoof with no item (a trade meant in advance to sacrifice the worthless Bidoof), then it's still a significant problem.
Unless there is some sort of "sync key" that gets written to the DS's internal memory and the SD card at the same time upon saving (and must be matched upon save loading), then I can see Nintendo skipping putting X/Y on the eShop just to avert Pokemon/item duplication.
It's already the best physical wall in the game. You can't get much more unflinching than that.
Skarmory is the last Pokemon that needs an evolution.
): I thought there was a way to get it from Pokemon Ranger? Or some other sidegame?
Sure give skaromry an evo so everyone can just ignore it and give skaromry an eviolite and roost lol.
My kin. I thought I was the only one that wanted Skarmory to evolve.STAHP!
Skarmory needs to evolve, right meow.
Or have a baby form.
